A convicted felon from Memphis faces charges after Cookeville Police found him possessing guns and a variety of drugs Thursday.
Officers came in contact with Patrick Smith after conducting a traffic stop for speeding on Interstate 40.
According to an arrest warrant, officers searched the vehicle and found ecstasy, cocaine, Xanax, THC infused gummies, and two handguns.
A records check revealed that Smith had a felony drug conviction out of Shelby County. In addition, officers learned that someone had reported one of the firearms stolen.
